“We have no injuries,” he said. “Only Matty James and Robert Huth are not available but all the other players are available for this game.

“Of course it will be important to make some rotation in December with all the games but at the moment we have some days to recover and we will see for this game, but when go to play every two or three days it will be important to make rotations.

“We are able to see this gradually to look at different players but it will be a normal thing for me to see sometimes some tiredness from the players or injuries.

“I hope no, but we will see. For the moment all the squad is available without the games played, for the moment there is no problem with this.”
